Mattress Cleaning

MATTRESS CLEANING

We spend up to a third of our lives in bed sleeping on our mattresses, but when was the last time you cleaned your mattress?

Finding time to clean them can be challenging with our busy lives. 100 years ago bed linen was washed at high temperatures, hung to dry outside, and then mattresses were aired for several hours before putting bed linen back on. Beds were vacuumed every few months.

Why would they go to so much effort?

Dust mites! All of these tasks help to keep the dust mite population under control. Here are a couple of icky facts about dust mites. You need a magnifying glass to see a dust mite, and a mattress can have tens of thousands living in it. Dust mites feed mainly off dead skin shed by humans and animals. They can carry allergens – small foreign proteins that can cause allergic reactions in people.

We care about creating healthy indoor environments for our customers and that includes the occasional mattress cleaning!
